Will visit Rostock in a couple weeks. Is it possible to see the based helo from outside? On googlemaps it looks difficult.

Never been there, but to me it looks like the helicopter base is within a fenced off navy base. So not much to see I presume

The heli landing spot (SAR det) is inside the Marine base. The flying for Hansesail is outside of course.

That’s a different one. The Sea King is based at the naval base itself

Ah! The topic starter didn't mention that. Wonder if it will be replaced by an NH90 or civvie after the SeaKing's imminent retirement.
